Oooooh are we doing Dropout shows on here now? Because I love all of Game Changer, and holy moly if we start going down the Dimension 20 rabbit hole we'll need to start a subpage of FanFare to prevent flooding the main, heh.
As far as this episode goes, the pure destructive chaos energy that Lou starts with was an utter delight... before the context of their situation has even fully set in, he just obliterates that guitar because it was there and he could. Being an attendee of an escape room and treating it like a rage room? Masterful. The behind-the-scenes ep after this goes into some fun detail of how the crew approached creating the entire operation, and just how much editing was required to help the 'time travel evil relative' plot present to the audience properly because the actual participants were just a mad dervish ransacking the place.

This was indeed a great episode but in terms of episodes this season that had me falling out of my chair laughing nothing comes close to topping Name A Number.

I work really hard at avoiding parasocial attachments and Lou Wilson routinely and casually demolishes my commitment to doing so.

Then this one struck like a lightning bolt. My favorite episodes are the ones where the contestants have to figure it out as they go along, and throwing in the "plot" of Sam's great-grandfather being a mad scientist paid off perfectly.
